Correct Cobra Steering wheel center cap?

[Bannon]

So no 427 Cobras had the AC badge. And based on your info only a few of the first big blocks had red white and blue badges?

I think for the most part, that's true. "AC" was used on the leaf spring cars. I think the early 427's (not comp or S/C) used a black/silver Cobra emblem and later red/white/blue. I might have that backwards though.
I don't think the comp models and therefore the S/C models had a center cap. Rather a washer and screws. Keep in mind that all of those models may be different today though.

You got my curiosity up so I started looking through one of my Cobra books which has several pictures of original S/C's. There is a mixture of the silver & black emblems as well as the red,white & blue emblems and they seem to be scattered throughout the CSX numbers. For instance, CSX3021 - black & silver, CSX3025 & CSX3275 - red,white & blue. I only see the A/C emblem on one 427 car but it had European license plates, so possibly a COB/COX car. All other A/C emblems were on the 289 cars.

Well, I guess that should make it all crystal clear for you

I seem to remember that one of Colin Comer's books showed a large number of photos with the AC cap. But when this came up a few months ago I went to some of the Cobra registery photo sites and most of them did show the Cobra emblem on the steering wheel - probably 90%+ that I looked at. So, I guess I'm as confused as anyone.

I liked the AC cap on a black car so I went with it. I guess it would be easy to buy both and switch them out now and then.
